Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the link between alcohol consumption and the (in)stability of earnings in Russia. Using annual data from the Russian Longitudinal and Monitoring Survey (RLMS) covering the years 1995-2018, we find that alcohol intake is significantly and positively associated with instability of earnings. This result remains robust even when we conduct a series of robustness tests.
